CAMPAIGN FOR THE BRAIN
Worldwide, hundreds of millions of
individuals and their families are impacted by the consequences of
brain disorders and related disabilities.
The Silver Ribbon Coalition represents the combined
interests of all those who are affected by a brain disorder or
disability. To date, the Coalition is represented by advocates for
and
individuals with anxiety
disorders, autism, brain cancer, brain injuries, depressive disorders,
mental health, myelin disorders, Parkinson's disease, OCD, psychotic disorders,
and rare birth defects.
Ultimately, the Silver Ribbon Coalition will be represented by advocates
for individuals with all types of brain disorders and disabilities.
The Silver Ribbon Campaign for the Brain promotes public
awareness of the need for emotional, social, governmental, and research
support of these individuals.
Increasing public awareness will decrease stigma and increase support to
result in improved treatment and eventual cures for those affected. |
